Thanks for the great recipe...this will definately go into my regular rotation of recipes as it was enjoyed by all. It was quick and easy, a good basic recipe that you can adapt with what you have on hand. I was out of onions and had no can corn so I swapped them for celery and diced carrots. Thanks again for a keeper recipe !!

This was a great recipe for the cooked pork I had in the freezer. I followed the recipe as posted except for halving it. Thanks for posting!

What a nice way to use up left-over pork roast! It does remind me of a shepards pie. We loved the from-scratch gravy in this....yum! I added some salt and pepper to the pork/gravy/corn mixture. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and it came out very nice indeed. I'll store this is my uses for left-over pork recipe file. Thanks!
